In this AU, almost everything is the same as in the show. EXCEPT Dean can see Castiel's wings. Yep. That's the only major difference. Castiel is an angel. Dean is a human. Being an angel, Castiel has wings. Nobody can see his wings, save Dean. Dean thinks that everybody can see Castiel's wings, and Castiel doesn't know that Dean can see them. Does that mean anything? This fanfic has short chapters, but I'll try to update frequently. This is my first fan-fic... There might* be some adult situations/language. *definitely

14 year old Castiel Novak was always different. And he payed for it. The bullying seemed endless. Until one day when someone sticks up for him. The new kid, Dean Wichester, just as much of an outsider as Cas. Neither of the two boys had ever had a friend before, and in there lonliness forms an unlikely friendship. A bond that grows stronger over the next two years. A bond that's special and seemingly unbreakable. Until Dean leaves and circumstances cause the two boys to drift apart, despite their undeniable chemistry. When they're brought together five years later their spark is rekindled. But do both of them have too many demons to keep their flame alight?

~Trigger Warning~ Castiel thought he was invisible. And he thought he liked it that way. Then he met Dean Winchester, the most visible boy in school. But Cas' world is spiralling out of control as he deals with his sexuality, his strict religious parents, his mental health and school bullies. And his friendship with the popular Dean could become dangerous. Will Dean help Cas before it's too late, will Cas help Dean understand his true feelings, and how with they overcome the obstacles that come with being a teenager in a cruel world. Contains themes of self harm, suicide and other mental health issues!
